Esther 7
1 And the king comes in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the queen,
王またハマンとともに后エステルと酒宴せんとて來れり
2 and the king says to Esther also on the second day, during the banquet of wine, “What [is] your petition, Esther, O queen? And it is given to you; and what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is done.”
この第二の酒宴の日に王またエステルに言けるは后エステルよなんぢのもとめは何なるや かならず許さるべし 汝のねがひは何なるや國の半分にいたるとも成就らるべし
3 And Esther the queen answers and says, “If I have found grace in your eyes, O king, and if to the king [it be] good, let my life be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request;
后エステルこたへて言けるは王よ我もし王の御目の前に恩を得王もし善と見たまはばわがもとめにしたがりこわが生命をわれに賜へ またわが願にしたがひてわが民を我に賜へ
4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy; and if for menservants and for maidservants we had been sold I had kept silent—but the adversity is not equal to the loss of the king.”
我とわが民は賣れて滅ぼされ殺され絶されんとす 我らもし奴婢に賣れたるならんには我默してはべらん 敵人は王の損害を償なふ事能はざるなり
5 And King Ahasuerus says, indeed, he says to Esther the queen, “Who [is] he—this one? And where [is] this one whose heart has filled him to do so?”
アハシユエロス王后エステルにこたへて言けるは之をなさんと心にたくめる者は誰また何處にをるや
6 And Esther says, “The man—adversary and enemy—[is] this wicked Haman”; and Haman has been afraid at the presence of the king and of the queen.
エステルいひけるはその敵その仇人は即ちこの惡きハマンなりと 是によりてハマンは王と后の前にありて懼れたり
7 And the king has risen, in his fury, from the banquet of wine, to the garden of the house, and Haman has remained to seek for his life from Esther the queen, for he has seen that evil has been determined against him by the king.
王怒り酒宴の席をたちて宮殿の園に往きければハマンたちあがりて后エステルに生命を乞り 其はかれ王のおのれに禍災をなさんと決めしを見たればなり
8 And the king has turned back out of the garden of the house to the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman is falling on the couch on which Esther [is], and the king says, “Also to subdue the queen with me in the house?” The word has gone out from the mouth of the king, and the face of Haman they have covered.
王宮殿の園より歸りて酒宴の場にいたりしにエステルのをる牀榻の上にハマン俯伏ゐたれば王いひけるは彼はまた家の内にてわが前に后を辱しめんとするかと此ことば王の口より出るや人々ハマンの面をおほへり
9 And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, says before the king, “Also behold, the tree that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing in the house of Haman, in height fifty cubits”; and the king says, “Hang him on it.”
時に王の前にある一人の侍從ハルボナいひけるは王の爲に善き事を言たりしかのモルデカイを懸んとてハマンが作りたる五十キユビトの木ハマンの家に立をるなりと王いひけるは彼をその上に懸よ
10 And they hang Haman on the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the fury of the king has lain down.
人々ハマンを其モルデカイをかけんとて設けし木の上に懸たり 王の震怒つひに解く
